Young people in ASEAN and the Philippines are stepping up with clear calls for action:
โข ASEAN Youth Declaration 2025 urges youth participation in policymaking, funding for youth-led initiatives, creation of innovation platforms, and mentorship programs. Youth are ready to act as co-creators of solutions, first responders, and innovators in building resilient communities.
Philippine LCOY 2025 Statement emphasizes key youth recommendations for government consideration:
โข Support youth participation in climate and disaster councils.
โข Ensure protection for young environmental advocates.
โข Promote climate-resilient schools and inclusive educational programs.
โข Facilitate transparency in climate finance and support youth-led initiatives.

Together, let us be partners, changemakers, and co-owners in climate action. Resilience must be equitable, inclusive, and just, grounded in policies shaped with youth. ๐ฟ
Letโs turn celebration into meaningful action and co-create a climate-resilient ASEAN and Philippines!
